Konami anticipating 3 million Peace Walker sales

Tagged as PSP2? Something you wish to share Joe?

There are 3 million PSPs?

@2 There are 60 million PSP’s

Shwing!

@2 Pwned!

Only 24 of them are uncracked and not playing pirated games, though.

3 M is easy

@4:

@5: yeah piracy is a major issue for PSP.

@6: Agreed

@5 there was data released for one game where illegal downloads outnumbered legal purchases by a factor of more than ten to one. For Patapon (awesome game which sold few) it was something like five to one. This is the type of theiving scum who then bitch and whine when a new firmware is released, which delays their stealing afew days before one of the hackers – sorry, homebrewers – cracks it again.

Interesting thought: if you see soemone with a PSP, statisticaly there is a high probability they are pirating games and killing the console rather than actually paying for any games out of their own pocket. Watch your wallet.

Let’s not go down the “piracy is killing games” route again, most of these piracy stats are heavily massaged to paint a bleak picture to justify price rises and restrictive DRM.

Good games continue to sell in record amounts and even average games can sell tons when they’ve got the advertising budget (i.e. Modern Warfare 2). Piracy is just the boogie man being used to justify shafting consumers.

But it really is bad on PSP.
I saw a list from one website a few weeks after Chains of olympus came out and it had over a million illegal downloads.

Not to sound NooB, but how are games pirated on PSP….I dont own one, but that and xbox hacking has always baffled me…..I kinda understand PC hacking but those two and DS throw me for a loop

@11

internet, google…Go crazy

@9 Sixty million PSPs and extremley low sales for 98 % of the game catalogue suggests you are wrong. And its not just Sony or publishers who make these claims, Joytiq did some research on it last year and it is from there I remember those shocking numbers.
